If a pull-up has been sitting on your goal list for what feels like forever, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll learn 4 things that should be on your to do list if you want to do a pull-up, the exact things I work on with my lifters in Strong with Steph.

You'll also hear the flip side: the three things to not do if a pull-up is the goal, because a lot of well-meaning advice (and a lot of self-talk) can actually get in the way. Whether you're chasing your very first chin-over-bar moment or you're stuck at the same plateau you've been at for months, this episode will help you reframe your approach, training shifts, and mindset around what "progress" looks like.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The movement pattern to focus on for strength building for pull-ups
• Why pull-ups aren't just a strength movement - and what to also work on
• One of the most underrated tools for tracking pull-up progress
• Should you use bands or assisted pull-up machines?
• How to reframe your pull-up progress into process goals
